Just wondering how long people here think it is for flight crew (including pilots) to be on duty?
Exactly my point!
Apparently, the pilots and everyone except 5 FA's thought that it was doable.
I say that if these 5 can't handle this strenuous flight should an fortunate event like perhaps a delay due to a mx, then they should not be permitted to take that risk in the future. Biding something less stressful would certainly make more sense, for these FA's, and their supervisors should probably make it perfectly clear that they are not to attempt to fly to ANYTHING over, say perhaps a transcon in the future!
